That travelling by train could cause instant insanity.

That you could cure depression and anxiety by jamming an ice pick into someone's eye socket.

Prior to 1860s, doctors did not wash their hands before attending to patients, and the doctor that proposed medical professionals should wash their hands before handling patients was so mocked by his peers that he suffered from a nervous breakdown.

Mercury was once considered safe and used as a disinfectant, laxative, cure for syphilis, and even as a pill for immortality.

Before the invention of railways, it was believed that people would suffocate if they traveled faster than 30 mph as they would not be able to breathe due to the surrounding air rushing past them.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, benzene was used as an after-shave because it smelled nice. Also, it is one of the best organic solvents, so organic chemists used to wash their hands with benzene even though it is actually highly carcinogenic.

Until recently, it was a popular scientific belief that different sections of your tongue react to different tastes.

Heroin cough syrup was developed by Bayer Laboratories in 1898.

Bloodletting was a medical procedure to help alleviate people of a number of ailments including pneumonia, fevers, back pain, rheumatism, headaches, melancholia, and more.

The lobotomy was first performed on humans in the 1890's. The procedure was thought to be a cure for mental illness. During it's popularity between the 1940's and 50's it was performed on about 40,000 people in the US.

Sometime in the 1950s, people started infecting themselves with tapeworms in order to loose weight.

Long before drug cartels, crack wars and TV shows about addiction, cocaine was promoted as a wonder drug, sold as a cure-all and praised by some of the greatest minds in medical history, including Sigmund Freud and the pioneering surgeon William Halsted.

Oxy is not addictive. I actually had a doc tell me this with a strait face, and I laughed out loud. Then I went for a ride on a 20-year addiction, which I fully knew would happen. But gotta work to put food on the table.

That sucks.

I have had 2 medical experts tell me ridiculous things also, but nothing as bad as yours.

Funny sidenote, yesterday the girl at the KFC drive through told me that KFC nuggets were in fact "real chicken".

She asked me what they were and I just said; "crap".
